American Association of Dental Editors & Journalists www.aadej.org 14 FEATURED management, and editorial approvals. Authors set up secure accounts to submit manuscripts and supporting materials. Editors receive alerts and can assign reviewers, track revisions, and communicate directly with authors. This feature is fully customizable — you can use all or part of it or even disable it if you prefer not to accept unsolicited submissions. Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) give you and your authors a stable link to an individual article and increase online discoverability. Adding DOIs is available at no cost through ADA Commons. More Than Just Journals ADA Commons is not limited to member journals, magazines, and newsletters. This IR can host nearly any other type of collection you may have and can be added to your site design at any time.
